The arrogant words of the Holy Spirit Sect's young man in black were like icy blades, instantly freezing the noisy discussions in the arena. The insult "Two demons leading five pigs" not only stung the pride of Xu Sanshi, Beibei, and the other Shrek Seven Monsters but was also a blatant provocation to the entire Tang Sect!
"You bastard!" Xu Sanshi roared in fury, and his Black Tortoise Shield martial soul instantly possessed him. His yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black six soul rings shone brilliantly, and the powerful aura of defense and strength burst forth. He took a step forward, causing the ground to crack, ready to rush onto the stage.
"I'll rip your mouth apart!"
In Beibei's eyes, electric light flickered, and with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaur martial soul possession, serpentine lightning wrapped around his dragon claw, exuding a violent and dangerous aura. Jiang Nannan, Xiaoxiao, He Caitou, Wang Dong'er, and even the usually calm Huo Yuhao all had faces as dark as water, with their soul power subtly fluctuating. To be so publicly humiliated, even a clay figure would have a temper, let alone the proud elites of Shrek?
However, one figure was faster, and steadier than them all.
Ye Yu moved.
He did not release the earth-shattering seven soul rings, nor did he draw the Unbeatable strapped to his back. He merely moved his feet, one step, two steps, his steps steady yet filled with an invisible, suffocating pressure, like a mountain rolling over, instantly enveloping the entire waiting area, even faintly pressing towards the stage!
He walked straight to the edge of the stage, calmly scanning the seven cold-auraed black-robed men of the Holy Spirit Sect, finally fixing his gaze on the youth in the lead who had just uttered the wild statement and cruelly killed a Tian Dou Academy student. His gaze was as indifferent as if he was looking at a group of dead objects.
"Saying Ye Ran and I can't carry them?" Ye Yu's voice was not loud, but it clearly pierced through all the noise, carrying a peculiar penetrative power, ringing in everyone's ears, "Are you belittling them? Or… belittling me and Ye Ran?"
He paused for a moment, his lips curling into a cold arc, the ridicule within that arc made the Holy Spirit Sect members' hearts jump.
"Or is it that you naively think," Ye Yu's voice suddenly turned fierce, like thunder exploding from the sky, "that by hiding like rats in the dark, you seven can withstand Ye Ran and me for even a moment combined?!"
"Boom——!"
The words had barely left his mouth when a dazzling light erupted from Ye Yu's body, the towering phantom of the Nine Spirits Divine Begonia instantly materializing behind him, seven soul rings like seven burning stars falling in succession, encircling him.
Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Gold!
Seven soul rings! The first six were deep blood-red one hundred thousand year rings! The seventh, even more, was that which symbolized divine level, radiating supreme aura—million-year shining gold ring!
Buzz——!
The entire competition arena seemed to have a golden sun cast into it, the sinister and evil black mist aura of the Holy Spirit Sect was like ice meeting the Fiery Sun, instantly dispelled, purified! The dazzling golden light filled every corner, holy, vast, and majestic, carrying an overwhelming mighty power that crushed everything!
"Million-year soul ring! Divine-level soul ring!" On the stands, Jing Hongchen exclaimed in shock, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets. Long Xiaoyao's pupils contracted, for the first time, violent tremors appeared on his face that was normally calm like an ancient well, and his hand unconsciously clenched on the chair's armrest. The black-robed man shrouded in mist on the other side of Xu Tianran, the mist violently churned, evidently very unsettled inside.
The audience, numbering in the tens of thousands, fell completely silent. The fear brought by the Holy Spirit Sect's cruelty was instantly replaced by the soul-shattering, mind-blowing sight before them! Seven-Rings Soul Saint? All seven rings starting at one hundred thousand years?! And one was a million-year divine ring?! This couldn't be described as a demon; this was mythology! A legend descending upon the world!
"How…how is this possible?!" The Holy Spirit Sect's soul saint evil soul master, who claimed to be at the seventy-first level, turned pale, his previous arrogance vanished completely, under the pure and vast sacred golden light's suppression, he felt his proud evil soul power was like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment! His soul was trembling! The other disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect were even worse, their bodies trembled like chaff, nearly unable to stand.
Xu Sanshi, Beibei, and the others felt the abyss-like yet brotherly protective vast aura behind them, their pent-up frustration and fury instantly transformed into unparalleled confidence and pride! This was their Boss Yu! This was Tang Sect's Stabilizing Needle!
Ye Ran's lips lifted slightly, his eyes gleaming with pride. This was his father! Even when suppressed by rules to only the seventy-first level, he could still bloom with brilliance making even gods turn their heads!
Ye Yu ignored the terror of the Holy Spirit Sect members, his gaze like lightning fixed on the black-clad young man who killed: "Earlier, did you enjoy the kill?"
The black-clad young man was locked by that gaze, as if targeted by a prehistoric beast, his blood seemed to freeze, death's shadow never so clear! He wanted to open his mouth to argue, but his throat felt constricted by an invisible hand, only able to make hoarse "Haa Haa" sounds.
"Treating lives as less than grass, cruel methods, and spouting boasts…" Ye Yu's voice was devoid of any emotion, "Scum like you don't deserve to live in this world, even less to stand on this soul master competition stage polluting the air."
"Referee." Ye Yu slightly turned his head, looking at the referee who was dumbfounded, sweating like rain, "Announce the start. This individual elimination match, Tang Sect, I, Ye Yu, will take on alone."
His voice was calm, yet carried an undisputable authority. One person taking on an entire team's individual elimination match! Targeting directly at the Holy Spirit Sect!
The referee quivered, under Ye Yu's calm yet infinitely pressuring gaze, almost instinctively shrieked: "Ind…Individual elimination match continues! Tang Sect's Ye Yu, versus Holy Spirit Sect! Match…begin!"
The words "begin" had just fallen, when the black-clad youth locked by Ye Yu, like a startled bird, eyes exploding with extreme fear and madness! He knew well there was no chance for fortune, only to fight desperately!
"Aaaah! Soul-Devouring Insect Tide!!"
He roared, his fifth soul ring (ten-thousand-year) abruptly shone, his body swelled violently, countless things seemed to wriggle under his skin. He opened his mouth, not to exhale, but to spew a thick, inky, foul-smelling black mist that screeched like souls! The black mist instantly spread, transforming into countless dense, fingernail-sized, hideously fanged black insects, like a surging black tide, flooding towards Ye Yu! Each insect emitted an evil vibration devouring souls, was his killer move devouring Tian Dou Academy students!
The move had great range, extremely fast, instantly covering more than half the stage, seemingly about to engulf Ye Yu!
"Be careful!" In the stands, Xu Jiujiu exclaimed, and Nan Qiuqiu even covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock. This kind of evil technique was so eerie and terrifying!
